Leftovers Before Passover

What to do with all that leftover chametz.

Passover is coming and it's time to get rid of all that leftover chametz. One has to be a little creative. Here is how I do it.

Leftover bread can be used in a number of ways:

Garlic Bread

SPREAD

1/4 lb. margarine

1 tbsp. fresh or frozen garlic

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. oregano

1/4 tsp. sugar

1/4 tsp. pepper

Slice rolls, challahs etc. Blend and spread on. Toast in hot oven at 220°F for 5 minutes. What is left over from the Garlic Bread, cut into small cubes and use as croutons or put in your food processor and make flavored breadcrumbs.

We all need new/good ideas this time of year

"Everywoman" or whoever else makes the meals always have a difficult time this pre-season; I usually quit buying in fEBRUARY JSUT TO USE UP EVERYTHING. bUT the past two years I shop as usual and the kitchen emptying day I call the local group who feeds the homeless and they pick up all my LEFTOVERS.EVERYTHINg in the kitchen goes; I have my bare kitchenm, and they have a little extra. I was told last year how they appreciated the contents of my spice rack;something their budget does not allow for.

Excellent Suggestions

One more suggestion. I took dry bread (of various types),and ran them through the blender or food processor turning then into fine bread crumbs. Then made a standard baking powder dough recipe by using the bread crumbs instead of flour. Then I used the dough for a vegetable roll up, or the base dough for a quiche. The result disappeared in less time than it took me to prepare it. B'teiavon!
